WATERPLANET is psychedelic pop made in the post-punk afterglow. From the beginning WATERPLANET music has defied classification, tinged with imagination, anguish, and play.*
Two people, acoustic guitars, pedals, percussion, an antique snare. Vocal harmonies and instruments set off sympathetic sounds in the room as WATERPLANET members Jim and Millie exchange instruments and play. Both are imagistic songwriters of unusual songs.*
Shelly Yakus, engineer to John Lennon, U2, etc., declared WATERPLANET ahead of their time, saying their songs conjured animated movies in his mind.**********

Hi, Millie. I haven't talked to you in a long while. I seem to have migrated over to Facebook, but still check in here occasionally. Hope you're doing well!
Vote for us asap for us to play 97X NEXT BIG THING and fwd the link to your friends. We're depending on all of you to get us there. Thanks so much! Nik
Hey, I am sorry I was unable to make it the other weekend. I hope it was awesome :) Did you hear back from Art Ed yet? I think I am going to be in March's edition. It would be fun if we were in the same one!
I feel you. I still have tons of MICA paperwork all over my office. I am trying not to move it all until I am finished with the article attempt. It seems never-ending though so we'll see if I ever get there. Are you still working on it?
Hi Millie..Thanks for stopping by and such nice comments...I'm just listening to VEnus Supreme and Henry.I love the intimacy you get and the courage to keep things so sparse and still be so effective and distinct Cheers-hope things are good
hello waterplanet..... thanks for the love about the "darker" sound of the band... as soon as Tom fixes the sound , we can listen to your tunes.... peace, pearlfishers.
Uhm... one cd was audio, the other mp3... maybe try them both on a pc... anyway i'll be eager to copy it again if it's the case.
Don't worry and don't hurry about my cds, I want you to feel free to hear 'em when you feel like doing it, and don't feel forced to write about it, keep you mind clean. I wrote a lot about it, but the thought came to me afterwards, after hearing it a couple of times. Enjoy it first.
About my writings, feel free to do what you want, it's ok.
